That's right, Sugar, go get yours! If I was Mallory, I woud highly consider leaving the country, lol! Thanks to him and Helena, it might be a cold day in hell before Sugar confides in anyone in her family again...but I doubt Sugar will stay angry for long tho! LOL

Author's Response:

Mallory is so messy, LOL, but you right. She won't stay mad at Mallory for too long. She's got a soft spot for him.

I can’t tell you how much I love this story. I check everyday , almost 3 times a day for an update! I’m obsessed! I love Sugar & Chef! I love when she calls him Miles! I love how much of a real man he is! And I love how much he’s made it his mission to shower Sugar with everything that is good & love. What I love the most though is how Sugar is just learning to love herself & to allow herself to experience everything Chef throws her way & how she’s grown from chapter 1. Whether she realizes it or not, Chef wants her for the strong, beautiful & imperfect woman she is. To him, he sees perfection & that’s amazing! Next chapter please!

OMG! I need the rest of this story, like yesterday lol. I fell in love with this. Please tell me when I will be able to read the rest? I am jonesing for the rest like a crack fiend need his next fix. Please hook a sista up! This little taste pulled me in so much. When I was finished, I kept scrolling downward trying to find the rest. I cannot wait to finish what I know is going to be a great book.

I am so happy that you are enjoying the story. I hope to finish it by the end of 2018. I've got about eight-ten more chapters planned before it's fully complete. :)

I enjoy female conversations young an old😆 Sugar got a family full of freaks😆 I love that👏👏👏👏👏 women being real with each other and around each other😆 All the women I socialize with an converse with are my fiancé family members, I don't feel right talk about that stuff with them😆 but they tell me GIRL! we know every male in this family is blessed that's why we are never stressed😂😂😂😂😂 I love femal bonding😆

Author's Response:

Women conversations are the bestest! I love writing them. LMAO, she does have a family full of freaks. From Mama Hartwell all the way to the youngest Hartwell sister, LOL. Even the sister-in-laws!

Well I for one totally enjoyed this chapter. Sugar needs to start believing that she is a sexy attractive woman. I think that once Sully meets Miles and see that he is really into Sugar he will be on his side. I can see them hanging out. Poor lose lips Mallory is going to die. Thank you for taking time out of your holidays to update. I hope that your Christmas was great and that your 2018 will be spectacular.

LOL....man this reminds me of my family and conversations like this going down randomly with various family members. My sister and I would try to listen in on our aunts and mom talking about this stuff and hearing loud laughter suddenly from whatever room they were in. And my youngest uncle was the Mallory in our family. Somehow he knew all the dirt.....lol!

Chef. What can I say? He's makimg it his mission to make his woman feel not only like a real woman, but I think, just as regular human being viewing herself in a normal way! Sugar has some pretty distorted views of herself. Lance has her thinking that she's all wrong in every way.

Helena is a hot mess!

Nice chapter.

Author's Response:

LMAO! Everyone got that one uncle that is the family gossip who knew everybody business somehow someway.

MJ, I have read this story so many times while on winter break and vacation. The content is fabulous, I love how Chef and Sugar are learning and growing as individuals and inadvertenly as a couple together. All of the characters are well developed, including the unlikeable ex and his wife. The vulnerablities and scars that they have shown each other make me love them so much more as a couple. I hope they get past this "no strings attached" sooner rather than later, especially since Chef is going to meet Sully and the rest of the crew. I hope Chef takes her to meet his cousins and grandma soon too or they come to visit and meet her. I love how Chef followed her home and played the little game about the keys to get to spend the night with her and just sleep with Sugar without having sex. Update soon.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Your support makes so much to me, Ms. Joy. Thank you so much for dedicating yourself to this story and taking the time out of your day to help me make it better. I appreciate it so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And also, thank you for the music selection. They had me feeling some kind of way and gave some inspiration for some future chapters.

Mental illness is a hard subject to speak about, let alone write about. I commend you on the way you wrote about that issue.

Abuse of any sort is unacceptable, People who are being abused have to realize IT IS NOT YOU, IT IS THEM! No matter what you do, it will never be good enough for your abuser!

Thank you for making your characters so lifelike and relatable!

Author's Response:

I write mental illness based as someone who has it and as someone who has had to watch loved ones go through it. I have a lot of ups and downs, but writing is my outlet. So to write about mental illness for me is definitely easy, but it's hard if that makes sense. Because it's like opening an old scar, but it's very theraputic. So, thank you so much for understanding where I was going with it. I appreciate your kindness and support, Ms. Kitty.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I wasn't expecting this update so soon, but I was thrilled to get it, and I'm loving the song selections with each chapter. It was hard hearing about the suicide and the abuse, but you had me smiling by the end of this chapter..really loving theses two more and more!

Author's Response:

My muse is really loving writing about these two and now that it's Christmas break, I hope to churn out more updates. So keep your eye out.
